Chapter 161: Assassination at All costs

Late at night.

Cherry Blossom Country.

It suddenly rained heavily around Martial Saint Mountain.

More than half of the martial arts grandmasters of the Cherry Blossom Country lived in the unnamed village at the foot of the mountain. Tonight, dozens of higher-ups of the Cherry Blossom Country ignored the lightning, thunder, and rain and waded through the muddy mountain road to visit the village.

The lights in the meeting hall were a little dim.

Lightning struck from outside the house from time to time, illuminating every corner of the room and the faces of more than a dozen people at the conference table.

“Village Chief, that’s the situation!”

The higher-ups of Cherry Blossom Country who had rushed over from outside the village were here to report on “Lin Mo”.

“This Lin Mo is much stronger than we imagined!” The village chief sighed with emotion. “Originally, we all thought that Lin Mo should be inferior to Black Earth! After all, according to the information we received, Black Earth was taken away and nurtured by the Primordial Universe Controller, but Lin Mo was not! But now it seems that… Lin Mo’s talent is probably even stronger than Black Earth’s!”

“That’s right, Village Chief!”

“I feel that the Primordial Universe Master has really misjudged this time. Although Black Earth is very monstrous, he’s clearly inferior to Lin Mo!”

“This Lin Mo’s growth speed is really too terrifying!”

“If he’s allowed to continue growing, he’ll probably become a martial arts grandmaster soon! At that time… he’ll definitely become Gongchuan’s greatest obstacle!”

There was actually a super genius hidden in the Cherry Blossom Country—Gongchuan Mingjing!

However, the Cherry Blossom Country had hidden this news very deeply. Apart from the dozen or so experts in the meeting hall, almost no one knew of the existence of the “Gongchuan Mingjing”!

And the intention of the Cherry Blossom Country was naturally… to nurture Gongchuan Mingjing at all costs to fight for the inheritance of the Primordial Universe Controller!

After all, all the martial arts grandmasters on the Blue Planet knew that the Primordial Universe Controller had little lifespan left. Whichever side could obtain the inheritance could easily dominate the entire Blue Planet!

The Cherry Blossom Country actually did not have a chance to fight for the inheritance at all. However, the sudden appearance of Chongchuan Mingjing gave them a lot of hope—even in the entire history of the Blue Planet, they had never seen a genius like Chongchuan Mingjing!

Just as the higher-ups of the Cherry Blossom Country were filled with joy, they saw “Black Earth” appear.

And Mrs. Tengyuan had used an illusion technique at all costs to kill Black Earth through long distance. It was actually to help Gongchuan Mingjing eliminate the obstacles in the competition for the inheritance! However, she had failed. Not only was Mrs. Tengyuan banned by the Primordial Universe, but she was also severely punished by Elder Zijin of the Xia country’s Grandmaster Hall.

“Now that Black Earth has been taken away by the Primordial Universe Controller, it’s impossible for us to get rid of him again!” the village chief analyzed. “And this Lin Mo seems to be even more monstrous than Black Earth now! Fortunately, he wasn’t taken away by the Primordial Universe Controller, which gives us a chance to get rid of him!”

The village chief pondered for a moment before saying solemnly, “Since there’s still a chance to get rid of Lin Mo now, we have to seize the opportunity no matter what! This way, at least we can let Gongchuan Mingjing have one less opponent in the competition for the inheritance! Moreover… we have to attack as soon as possible! Otherwise, when Lin Mo grows up, we won’t have a chance to get rid of him!”

The village chief suddenly stood up and walked to the window to look at the lightning and thunder outside. “As long as we can get rid of Lin Mo… we won’t hesitate to sacrifice our entire village!”

The others stood up solemnly.

They all knew that this was probably the only chance for the Cherry Blossom Country to dominate the Blue Planet!

Lightning flashed outside the window.

An assassination attempt on Lin Mo was brewing amidst continuous thunder.

… .

The next day.

Jiangnan Martial Arts University.

There were nearly a thousand people gathered in Martial Arts Hall No. 1.

There were more than two hundred of them, the unlucky second-year children who had gambled with Lin Mo. Each of them had brought ten time cards. Clearly, they had known before the gambling battle began—they were here to hand in the “time cards” today.

As for the other hundreds, most of them were Jiangnan Martial Arts University students who had come to watch the commotion. There were also dozens of medical staff in the school’s medical office.

Suddenly—

As a figure walked in, the clamor in the entire martial arts hall instantly fell silent.

“Brother Mo!” Gao Haoran went forward and said proudly, “Look, I arranged today’s gambling battle well, right?”

Gao Haoran pointed at the areas in Martial Arts Hall No. 1 and introduced them one by one.

“That area is the contestant area for the gambling battle! All of them have already brought their time cards and are just waiting to hand them over to Brother Mo!”

“That area is the spectator area! All the students in our class are here! I also pulled Teacher Wei over and he’s sitting in the first row!”

“That area is the medical area! Most of the medical staff in the school’s medical room are already here… By the way, Brother Mo, pay attention to being gentle during the gambling battle later! Otherwise, I’m worried that there won’t be enough medical staff!”

“Yes!” Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad, the arrangements are very orderly!”

Lin Mo also saw from afar that Li Jiaxuan was also sitting bitterly in the contestant area. Although he had invited Gao Haoran to a big sword last night, Gao Haoran, who was clear about public and private matters, would clearly not let Li Jiaxuan’s ten time cards go!

A big sword was a big sword. It is simple and not related to anything else!

“I also distributed number plates to them according to the order in which they signed the gambling war agreement!” Gao Haoran continued, “Brother Mo, go to the arena first. I’ll let them go up in order to be beaten up! If you beat one up, I’ll collect ten time cards. There won’t be any mistakes and not a single time card will be safe!”

“Alright!” Lin Mo smiled. “Then I’ll only be in charge of hitting people. I’ll leave the rest to you!”

With that, Lin Mo walked straight into the arena.

“Brother Mo, don’t worry!” Gao Haoran first said to the arena, then looked at the contestant area. “Contestant No. 1, Red Dragon, go to the arena!”

The red dragon’s expression turned bitter when his name was called.

He was the first to sign the gambling war agreement yesterday. He had wanted to be the first to get his time card. He never expected to be the first to give his time card up.

What made Red Dragon even more depressed was that the more than 200 second-year students who had signed the gambling battle agreement now hated him. After all, if he hadn’t come to Lin Mo’s class to cause trouble, why would so many people have signed the gambling battle agreement yesterday?

After today’s “guidance battle”, Lin Mo would have already revealed his strength. Who would be stupid enough to give Lin Mo time cards?

It could be said that more than 200 of them had been tricked by the Red Dragon!

“Lin Mo!” The Red Dragon stepped onto the arena and said arrogantly, “Don’t hit my face!”
